'One Duty Room is Insufficient': Allahabad HC directs SRN Hospital to submit Affidavit for Separate Female Doctors' Duty Rooms
Allahabad High Court
Prayagraj: While hearing a suo-moto public interest litigation regarding infrastructure at Swaroop Rani Nehru (SRN) Hospital, the Allahabad High Court raised serious concerns over the absence of dedicated duty rooms for female doctors in several key departments.
Referring to the issue of the nonavailability of duty room for female doctors, the division bench of Justice Manoj Kumar Gupta and Justice Manish Kumar Nigam instructed the Superintendent-in-Chief, Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital, Prayagraj to file an affidavit regarding a plan for the construction of separate duty rooms for female doctors in departments where they are not available.
"We notice that although there are several wards in some departments, there is only one duty room, which may not be sufficient to cater to the requirements. We would require an additional affidavit from the Superintendent in-Chief, Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital, Prayagraj in respect of the above aspect and also regarding the plan for construction of separate duty rooms for female doctors in departments where not available," observed the court.
